What you need to know to Plant & Grow
For the healthiest growth, cucumbers thrive in a wind-sheltered site with a rich, warm sandy loam. Plant seeds after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up to at least 18°C. Cooler soil can lead to poor germination.
Nurturing Your Plants: Sow seeds 1 cm deep, with 8 seeds per hill in hills spaced 120-150 cm apart. After the seeds sprout, thin to 3-4 plants per hill. For a head start, you can start seeds indoors in fibre pots 3 to 5 weeks before planting out. Avoid planting out until early June to prevent blossom end drop from cool nights. Cucumbers are shallow rooted, so they need a consistent, even supply of water. Water early in the morning to prevent mildew on the foliage. Harvest cucumbers by cutting them from the vine with a sharp knife to avoid damaging the plant. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
